raid solution for iMac and MacBook

[ji3yjo42ul3]

I have a iMac and Macbook pro, mainly using it for wedding photo and wedding video.
Using iMovie, Finalcut express and Adobe photoshop.
I looked into G-Safe but found out the available capacity is only 50% of the whole drive.
Need to have a safe but fairly fast speed for HDV and lightroom.
any suggestion?

If you are shooting HDV, a FireWire drive will get the job done.
For RAID on a iMac, there are not much of options.
You can use stardom deck DR4, builtin RAID 5 but the speed is around 70 MB/s but if you use SATA, you should be able to get 220MB/s
For the MacBook Pro, you can use the same solution with a express34 SATA card. You do not need a express34 RAID card. The RAID engine is builtin.

I saw this product at NAB and was impressed.
